READ-2-REVIEW - CONTEMPORARY - LOVE YOU ALWAYS by AJ Alexander

A woman who’s waiting for her love to return home …

A man who doesn’t believe he deserves her.

Love You Always, an all-new brother’s best friend, age-gap, small town romance from USA Today bestselling author AJ Alexander is now available!

I’ve been in love with my brother’s best friend, Brady Thomas, since I was old enough to know what love was.  It didn’t matter that he was older than me or that my brother would disapprove, there was no changing the way that I felt about him.  I planned to keep my feelings a secret, telling myself it was nothing but a silly crush. Then Brady did the unthinkable, he kissed me before leaving without a word.  

That one kiss changed everything. Instead of getting the happily ever after I dreamed of,  I spent months waiting for any hint that our  kiss meant something to him. That he felt something, anything close to what I feel for him, but the only thing I got was the silent treatment.

Now, a little over a year later, Brady is back in town stirring up all the feelings I’ve been trying desperately to forget.  The moment our eyes lock across my brother’s bar I feel the walls around my heart begin to crumble. But I refuse to make the same mistake twice. 

If Brady wants a chance at my heart, then he’s going to have to fight for it.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . LOVE YOU ALWAYS . . . The Silent Treatment Ends: A Blazing Brother's Best Friend Romance!

Sometimes what you need most is right before your eyes. Sometimes what you can't see will heal you and make you a better person. This rings profoundly true in LOVE YOU ALWAYS, an intense and emotionally charged brother’s best friend, age-gap, small-town romance.

Our heroine has been secretly in love with Brady Thomas, her brother’s best friend, since she was old enough to understand love. Despite the age difference and her brother’s potential disapproval, her feelings were undeniable. The tension comes to a head when Brady breaks his silence—not with words, but with a blazing kiss before leaving town without a word.

That single kiss changed everything, leaving her to spend months waiting for any hint that she mattered to him. Instead, she received the devastating silent treatment. Now, over a year later, Brady is back in town, and the moment their eyes lock across her brother’s bar, all those fiercely suppressed feelings come rushing back.

She refuses to make the same mistake twice. This time, if Brady wants a chance at her heart, he's going to have to fight for it! This is a passionate, second-chance story about a man who believes he doesn’t deserve her finally coming home to face the music and prove that what he felt was real. AJ Alexander delivers a deeply satisfying story of healing, commitment, and the power of finding your forever in the most unexpected—yet closest—place.

This time the danger comes in the form of a request from the Vampire King. I'm giving nothing away. I do recommend this novella to all that have enjoyed the Big Bad Boss Trilogy. This was a delicious addition with spice and intrigue. It was just enough to keep you updated on what was going on in the lives of Madi, Brick, and the rest of the boys.

I read the story first and then got the audio to match the rest of the series set. Now I can just put them in my list and play them all at will. Narration added to the enjoyment of the story.

READ-2-REVIEW - CONTEMPORARY SUSPENSE - A DANGEROUS MAN (Appalachian STAR, #8) by Deanndra Hall

A Dangerous Man
Appalachian Star, #8 
(Special Forces Operation Alpha)
by Deanndra Hall 
Release Date: September 10th 2024 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 

She’s headstrong and independent. He’s determined and dangerous. Is their love a disaster … or their salvation?

Bear

Relentless.

I’m a murderer, and I own that. I’ve paid my debt to society, but what I did is a stain on my soul that will leave me forever unworthy of anything good. So I’m surprised when a couple of nights with FBI Agent Sela Baldwin when she’s here at the farm guarding Natalie leaves me longing for more time with her. She’s stuck in rehab from her injuries and mad as a hornet, but my offer for her to live with me and explore our relationship is surprisingly well-received. We settle in, only to find that the cartel still has a mark on Sela and Natalie, and it’ll take all of my friends from App STAR, Citadel Security, and the Eagle Point Search and Rescue teams to keep them safe—if Sela will just cooperate. I swear, that woman is her own worst enemy!

SELA

Relentless.

They might call him Bear, but he’s a wildcat in the sack. I think about those hands and that body constantly while I’m trapped in the rehab facility, planning my escape and furious that the bureau doesn’t think I can do my job. I don’t connect with people emotionally, but when I discover he’s been in an accident, I’m terrified. As soon as he asks me to move out to the farm with him, I realize being on the disabled list will give us time to maybe have an actual relationship. His openness and honesty give me hope, and I’m surprised at myself and how fast I start to trust him and care for him. There’s just one problem. The cartel is still after Natalie and me, and no matter what Bear says, I’ve never trusted a man to take care of me. Is my Dangerous Man dangerous enough to get the job done, or will I have to do it myself?

Come to the hills and hollers of eastern Kentucky and get acquainted with eight of the most determined men you’ll ever meet in the Appalachian STAR series.

Deanndra Hall is a working author living in the far western end of the beautiful Bluegrass State with her husband of over 35 years and small menagerie of weird little dogs. When she’s not writing, she’s editing. When she’s doing neither of those two things, she’s having dinner with friends, spending time with family, kayaking, eating chocolate, drinking beer or moonshine, or looking for something that she put in the wrong place and can’t seem to find (which is pretty much everything she owns).
